When you reach the end of Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, the progress you made defeating the original factions is eradicated when a new faction moves into D.C.: The Black Tusks.
Their relationship with the other factions varies, but they move in once the player defeats the True Sons in the Capitol Building.
Once you hit endgame in The Division 2, you are immediately hit with a new progressive system; World Tiers.
With four World Tiers, you are challenged to climb the tiers to restore D.C. and push the Black Tusks out.
Endgame adds on a new gameplay, and back at the White House, you are introduced to Specializations.
This is a new progression system in which the player chooses from either, Gunner, Demolitionist, Sharpshooter, Survivalist, and Technician.
Once a Specialization is chosen, players then grind to climb the tiers and upgrade their Specialization.
We’re going to go through the Specializations, rating them from deadliest choice to least.
